Termites in Seattle Washington - Termites are a real issue that cost home owners millions of dollars every year. Due to the nature of termites, they are very difficult to find. And in some cases impossible to find without dismantling components of the home or doing destructive probing.

One of the biggest issues, even among experienced exterminators, is identification of the wood destroying insect as a termite or a carpenter ant. To the untrained eye, the two look very similar, and so does the damage they make.

You should always hire a qualified pest inspector to fully inspect your home/building. But if you ever find yourself in the circumstance, use the chart below to help you distinguish between a termite and a carpenter ant during their spawning season. Questions? Contact me!
